[SOLVED] Is the 5700 XT Anniversary Edition worth it?

The extra $50 for a small MHz bump and some gold trim, is it worth the premium?

Is anything worth anything? People paid a fortune for the Intel 8086 just a few months ago and it's just a mediocre cpu compared to the rest.
If you like it, buy it, but I thought it also had some more cores in it as well.

Unless you just want to show off to your pals, then nope.
Plus blower style coolers still 'blow'. Wait for the AIB models.

Lots of them coming soon, so will be faster than the 5700XT
5900XT - if thats 20% faster than the 5700XT that will be quite powerful indeed.

True, although the 5700 XT is already at the top of my price range.

You're right, I may buy the regular 5700 XT and get a water block on it down the road, would like to expand my Swiftech H240X. The gold cooler won't matter then.
